Amph Come with me if you want to live: The Terminator Thread

The real question is "Will the Terminators actually be scary?" C'mon, give them some intimidation factor. They haven't had that since the T-1000 was stalking Los Angeles while disguised as a motorcycle cop.

Terminator salvation is to the terminator movies as the star wars prequels are to the star wars movies. only i actually thought terminator salvation didn't have the most annoying character in cinematic history.

Salvation was half a good movie with a weak 2nd act resulting from the shift in character focus from actor ego, a decent 3rd act and an ok ending.

By contrast, T3 had a terrible 1st act, decent 2nd/3rd act and a great ending.

TSCC managed to make Cromartie/John Henry creepy/scary in the same way the T-1000 was in several episodes. Even the chick from Garbage managed to be creepy a few times.

Skydance Productions, Annapurna Pictures and Paramount Pictures have jointly announced they will partner on a rebooted “TERMINATOR” movie, to be released by Paramount Pictures on June 26, 2015.

The first in a stand-alone trilogy, “TERMINATOR” will be produced by Megan Ellison of Annapurna and David Ellison of Skydance. Dana Goldberg and Paul Schwake of Skydance will serve as executive producers. Laeta Kalorgridis (“Avatar,” “Shutter Island”) and Patrick Lussier (“Drive Angry”) are attached to write the screenplay.

Launched in 1984 with star Arnold Schwarzenegger as the title character, “TERMINATOR” spanned 3 subsequent films, which have earned over $1 billion at the worldwide box office.

David Ellison most recently executive produced, along with his partners at Paramount, “World War Z,” “Star Trek Into Darkness,” “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” and “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol”. A 5th installment of in the “Mission: Impossible” franchise is in active development, along with a 3rd film in the “G.I. Joe” franchise, among other films.

Megan Ellison most recently produced the Academy Award®-nominated “Zero Dark Thirty,” “The Master” and executive produced “Spring Breakers” via her Annapurna Pictures banner and has David O. Russell’s “American Hustle,” Spike Jonze’s “Her,” and Bennett Miller’s “Foxcatcher” set for release later this year.

i am intrigued, and willing to possibly consider allowing it, but only with the stipulation that terminator design and style remain unchanged. that **** is iconic. also they have to make the DUH-DUH DUH DUH DUH noise at least twice.
